Wordle is presently one of the most popular internet-based games globally. It was designed by Josh Wardle, an American-Welsh software designer who created the game as a gift for his wife during the lockdown. Wardle designed the game with simplicity and sanity in mind, which is wife the game doesn’t have any advertisements to interrupt your experience.

The game is playable only via desktop and mobile browsers and only once a day. This keeps your addiction in check. Plus, you get to learn unique five-letter words each day! Ultimately, the game became so popular that The New York Times bought it.
